I-Mobile-Tensaw Delta Rich in Biodiversity

Sijabule kakhulu ngokuqinisekiswa kwezinhlobonhlobo zezinto eziphilayo ezimangalisayo nokubaluleka kwe-Mobile Tensaw Delta. Lo mzamo uholwe i-Bill Finch ye-The Ocean Foundation kanye nezinhlangano zethu zozakwethu ezihlanganisa i-EO Wilson Foundation, i-Curtis & Edith Munson Foundation, i-National Parks and Conservation Association, kanye ne-Walton Family Foundation.

WASHINGTON - Indawo enkulu yoMfula i-Mobile-Tensaw okungenani ingamahektha angama-200,000 ezinhlobonhlobo zemvelo ezicebile eziyinkimbinkimbi ngokwamasiko futhi enenani elibalulekile lezenhlalo nezomnotho. Kuphinde kube yisihloko sombiko omusha "wesimo solwazi lwesayensi" obhalwe iqembu lososayensi nezazi ezinentshisekelo ngekusasa lendawo eningizimu-ntshonalanga ye-Alabama.

Umgqugquzeli wayo oholayo nguDkt. Edward O. Wilson, usosayensi wase-Harvard University futhi ongowokuzalwa e-Alabaman. "I-Greater Mobile-Tensaw River Area iyigugu likazwelonke elisanda kuqala ukuveza izimfihlo zalo," kusho uWilson. “Ingabe ikhona enye indawo eMelika lapho izakhamuzi nezivakashi zingahlala khona edolobheni lesimanje kodwa zingene endaweni eyihlane ngempela phakathi nehora?”

Ngokwabahleli bombiko, i-tectonic uplift idale amawa asogwini olusempumalanga ye-Mobile Bay e-Montrose, e-Alabama, kanye namagquma aphakeme e-Red Hills anwebeka enyakatho ahlinzeka ngezindawo eziyingqayizivele zezitshalo nezilwane eziningi ezikhona. 

“Ziningi izinhlobo ze-oki, zezimbaza, ze-crayfish, zezibankwa nezimfudu zitholakala kule ndawo kunanoma iyiphi enye indawo yaseNyakatho Melika eqhathaniswa nayo,” kusho uDkt. Greg Waselkov wase-University of South Alabama, omunye wabahleli bocwaningo. "Futhi kungenzeka okufanayo emindenini eminingi yezinambuzane esesiqala ukuzitholela izinhlobo ezikule lebhu enkulukazi yemvelo."

Futhi, kubuza umhleli wocwaningo u-C. Fred Andrus weNyuvesi yase-Alabama, “Ubani phakathi kwethu owayazi ukuthi izilwane ezinomgogodla ezigcwele kakhulu kulesi sifunda zingama-salamanders angabonakali, anamahloni abamba iqhaza elikhulu ekulawuleni izinga lamanzi nokuphathwa kwekhabhoni ezindaweni ezingamaxhaphozi? I-Mobile-Tensaw Delta igcwele izinto ezimangazayo, kusosayensi njengoba nje isivakashi esivamile sijabulela ukudoba, ukubuka izinyoni, noma nje ukuhamba ngesikebhe lo mgwaqo onamanzi amaningi.”

Umbiko uvela ebudlelwaneni phakathi kwe-National Park Service's Biological Resources Division kanye neHhovisi lesiFunda eliseNingizimu-mpumalanga, iNyuvesi yaseNingizimu Alabama, kanye neNyuvesi yase-Alabama kanye Nophiko Lwe-Gulf Coast Cooperative Ecosystems. 

Isifunda Sase-Alabama kanye Nesevisi Yepaki Kazwelonke anomlando oqinile wokubambisana ngamapaki, izimpawu zezwe, amasayithi omlando kazwelonke, nezinhlelo zokusiza umphakathi. Phakathi kuka-1960 no-1994, kwaqokwa Izimpawu Zomlando Kazwelonke eziyisithupha endaweni, okuhlanganisa i-Fort Morgan, i-Mobile City Hall kanye ne-Southern Market, i-USS Alabama, i-USS Drum, i-Government Street Presbyterian Church, kanye nesizinda semivubukulo sase-Bottle Creek. 

Ngo-1974 i-Mobile-Tensaw River Bottomlands yaqokwa njenge-National Natural Landmark. Nakuba abantu bendawo kade bekwazisa ubudlele kanye namandla okuzingela nokudoba e-Mobile-Tensaw Delta bottomland, lo mbiko ubeka ulwazi olugculisayo lokuthi izinhlelo ezinkulu zemvelo, ezamasiko, nezomnotho ezizungeze i-delta floodplain ziboshwe ngendlela engenakuhlukaniswa nezintaba ezizungezile. indawo enkulu yemvelo yendawo yoMfula iGreater Mobile-Tensaw River engamahektare ayizigidi ezimbalwa.

“Le ndawo yaseNyakatho Melika ingenye yezindawo ezicebe kakhulu ngokuphathelene nezinhlobonhlobo zezinto eziphilayo,” kusho u-Elaine F. Leslie, isikhulu seNational Park Service Natural Resource Stewardship and Science Biological Resources Division. "Futhi umlando wamasiko kanye namagugu alo ayigugu elilinganayo."  

Kusekuningi okumele sikufunde ngeDelta. Ngabe izici ezibonakalayo zegeology yendawo kanye ne-hydrology yale ndawo zisekela kanjani izinhlelo zebhayothiki ezihlukahlukene neziguquguqukayo, futhi zibumbana kanjani isimo semvelo sobudlelwane babantu nomhlaba, amanzi, izitshalo, nezilwane zeDelta?

Inhlanganisela yolwazi lomuntu siqu, umlando wemvelo nowamasiko, kanye nesayensi isisiza ukuthi siqonde ukuthi ukuxhumana okunamandla kwezemvelo namasiko kuhlanganisa ndawonye i-Mobile-Tensaw Delta. Abahlanganyeli balo mbiko bahlola ukuthi ukuxhumana kwalesi sizinda sezwe kuhlelwe kanjani futhi baveze imiphumela ethile uma ubuphathi bethu obuhlangene behluleka ukulondoloza i-Delta esiyizuzile.

Mayelana Nokuphathwa Kwezinsiza Zemvelo Nesayensi (NRSS). IHhovisi loMqondisi we-NRSS lihlinzeka ngosekelo lwesayensi, lwezobuchwepheshe, nolwezokuphatha eziqiwini zikazwelonke zokuphatha imithombo yemvelo. I-NRSS ithuthukisa, isebenzisa, futhi isabalalise amathuluzi esayensi yemvelo nenhlalo yomphakathi ukusiza i-National Park Service (NPS) ukufeza umgomo wayo oyinhloko: ukuvikela izinsiza zepaki kanye namagugu.

Mayelana neNational Park Service. Abasebenzi abangaphezu kuka-20,000 beNational Park Service banakekela amapaki ezwe laseMelika angu-413 futhi basebenzisane nemiphakathi ezweni lonke ukuze basize ukulondoloza umlando wendawo nokudala amathuba okuzilibazisa aseduze nekhaya.
